The design was Radford Design #7082 taken from page 254 of William A. Radford's publication Radford's Artistic Homes published in 1908.[7] Radford's designs were regularly updated in their details and assigned new numbers, and the design bears a strong resemblance to Radford Design #517 on pages 156 and 157 of Radford's earlier Radford American Homes 100 House Plans published in 1903.[8] Guldner ordered the design through Caldwell and Hoffman Lumber Dealers in 1910, with the lumber sourced from the Western Planing Mill in Wichita.[9] He requested several variations from the Radford specification (in letters to Caldwell and Hoffman and marked on the blueprints themselves), including to the style of the front door, a widening of the hallway, and an extension to the bay, and consequent adjustment to the roof, by 3 feet (91cm).[10] Later owners in the 1980s were to remodel the kitchen and replace the sash windows with fixed windows.[11]

The Missouri Lumber and Mining Company (MLM) was a large timber corporation with headquarters and primary operations in southeast Missouri. The company was formed by Pennsylvania lumbermen who were eager to exploit the untapped timber resources of the Missouri Ozarks to supply lumber, primarily used in construction, to meet the demand of U.S. westward expansion. Its primary operations were centered in Grandin, a company town it built starting c. 1888. The lumber mill there grew to be the largest in the country at the turn of the century and Grandin's population peaked around 2,500 to 3,000. As the timber resources were exhausted, the company had to abandon Grandin around 1910. It continued timber harvesting in other parts of Missouri for another decade. While some of the buildings in Grandin were relocated, many of the remaining buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 as part of the state's historic preservation plan which considered the MLM a significant technological and economic contributor to Missouri.
